Most mentions of H. E. Wodehouse are in connection with his son, the author P G Wodehouse. But I'm interested in H. E. because of his work as a magistrate in Hong Kong. I'm looking for photos / sketches / portraits of him for the CPS project's history book.

I've got one possible source, but if you know of any other photos, please let me know.

c.1890-01-01 (Year, Month, Day are approximate)

I'm looking for photos / sketches / portraits of him for the CPS project's history book. A Barrister, he was appointed as Police Magistrate in 1867 [1], and left in 1870 [4].

There aren't any results for goodlake in the photo search at HKPRO, and he didn't serve with Legco. No relevant results for goodlake hong kong in the UKNA.

He is mentioned in several family trees [2], but it isn't clear he is a closely related to any of them.

Details of birth & death from the Dictionary of Hong Kong Biography.

I'm looking for photos of him for the CPS project's history book. His connection is his role as Hong Kong's second Chief Magistrate, succeeding William Caine.

The HKPRO has a photo of him, but I'd be interested to hear of any more that exist.

I’ve found one descendant of C B Hillier who is researching his life:

Hello everyone,

I'm new to the forum, but have been enjoying the site for several weeks.

I'm researching the activities of my father, George Merriman, who was interned in Stanley from the fall of HK until liberation. He told us very little of his memories, probably because he was Deputy Head of Station for Hong Kong MI6, serving under Alec Summers. He would have felt restrained by the Official Secrets Act, I suspect. (I met Alec Summers when he came to NZ to visit Dad in about 1960...)

There is some confusion between the 1871 and 1881 British Census as to where John William Lee-Jones was born (in 1860)

1871 Census has John as age 11, born in Chester

1881 Census has John as age 21, born in Ireland

1891 he is no longer living with his parents and siblings.

Listed as the father of Reginald Wynne Lee Jones, (a minor at the time) in Samuel Wynne Lee's will dated 1 Feb 1911. See the will under Samuel W. Lee. Will also stated they were living in Hong Kong, China, at the time of the will.
